Invisalign® is a process for straightening misaligned and gapped teeth discreetly using invisible aligners. Aligners are replaced every week until the desired result is obtained. 3-D technology is used to determine the exact shape of your teeth so aligners can be designed specifically for your mouth.
Using computerised 3D modelling Invisalign® aligners are made from clear plastic, shaped to fit snugly against your unique teeth. Your teeth are computer scanned to calculate what’s needed for your perfect smile. I We then determine the number of individual adjustments you’ll need to reach that end result. Based on these projections, the aligners are created.
You’ll wear your aligner for at least 20-22 hours per day. As your teeth gradually move to look like that aligner, you’ll switch to a new one. Step by step, your teeth are brought into t alignment.
With no metallic wires around your teeth, the clear Invisalign® aligners are highly suitable for everyday use. They’ll make you feel less self-conscious about how you look during treatment.
Because it’s a detachable treatment, the aligner can be removed while eating, drinking, brushing and flossing, for a more convenient daily teeth hygiene regimen.
Overall, Invisalign is a comfortable and convenient solution to fix a variety of orthodontic issues such as crossbites, crowding, open bites, gapped teeth, overbites, and underbites.
If you suffer from misaligned teeth or an incorrect bite, you can correct your teeth discreetly with Invisalign.
The Invisalign® system is one of the most advanced, precise and convenient options for adult and teenage orthodontic treatment available. With clear aesthetics and health advantages over conventional metal braces, it often takes fewer dental appointments and less overall treatment time.
